Progress Rear Sway Bar
 
Just purchased one of these and thought I would do my first review on fitfreak.
Installed on 2013 Vortex Blue Fit Sport

Installation:
In the instructions it specified removal of the wheels and springs to gain access to the mounting holes. I was able to do the install without removing anything.
It just took some different sized allen head tools.

Quality:
Very simple design and fit flush and the finish was definitely good.

Difference after modification:
Holy @$$ Crackers batman, instant improvement in vehicle rotation and significant increase in vehicle confidence.


I have to say that I HUGELY recommend this to anyone who drives a 2nd gen Fit. Especially if you enjoy any kind of spirited driving.

Overall: This has to be one of the most noticeable modifications iv'e done to a vehicle, I'm greatly impressed all around.

Nice review! I'm getting one of these as soon as I have some spending money.

How did you manage to get the one bolt that is sort of under the spring in?

I am thinking of getting one but darn the shipping to Canada sucks. $65.

There was only one bolt on the passenger side that provided some difficulty. I've heard some people just trim the rubber boot a bit, I was able to coax mine in with a flat head screwdriver and some patience. Easier than removing the spring by far.

I have actually have been devising a way to increase the Progressive Sway bar stiffness. I need more bar.

Thank you. I may tackle it myself then if I get one.

Use that one as a template to weld on another or a bigger bar. I'm interested to see how it would turn out.

A bigger bar isn't necessary, making a line weld on top of the bar will increase the thickness resulting in a stiffer bar. What I have to determine is how and how much.
